ABSTRACT:
A reclining chair is disclosed in which the seat is movably supported on the base of the chair at each side by a pair of links which are inclined upwardly and rearwardly from the base to the seat, and the forward link is longer than the rearward link so as to increase the pitch of the seat as the seat is raised and moves forward.
The backrest is pivoted to the seat well above the plane of the seat frame, and is supported by an upstanding link pivoted to the base. The backrest, in reclining, pivots on the upper end of the upstanding link as a fulcrum, and raises the seat.
The elevation of the seat is guided by its supporting links, which move the seat forward, with the lower end of the backrest following, as the seat is lifted.
